Carpool Procedures

When you arrive at Spoede, we want to keep our students safe during carpool. Please help by doing the following:

Please drive slowly and do not use your cell phone in the carpool line.
Please pay close attention, be respectful to, and follow the directions of our staff members directing traffic.
Please do not allow your child to get out of the car until directed to do so by a staff member.
Please help us be good neighbors to the residents in our local neighborhoods and do not park, drop-off, or pick-up your children on their streets.
The bus entrance and circle is for buses only. No carpool students will be picked in that location.
Please share this information with any grandparent, babysitter, or other adult who may pick up your child(ren) in the afternoon.

8:35 a.m.
Morning Drop-off Begins

Students cannot be dropped off in front of the building before 8:35 a.m., except for those students enrolled in before or after care.
Students may enter the building at 8:35 a.m.
Cars will enter the parking lot from the north entrance off of Spoede Road in a single file line.
Students will exit the car on the passenger side of the car. (Students should either climb over to the passenger side OR wait until a staff member opens a door on the driver’s side of the car before exiting). '
Students should only exit the car in the Drop-off Zone after being directed to do so by a staff member.
After dropping off your student in the morning, continue around the circle to the exit.
Cars exiting the parking lot may turn north or south on Spoede Road.

3:35 p.m.
Pick-up Begins

Please do not pull onto the lot before 3:35 p.m.
Please put down cell phone during carpool.
Cars will enter the parking lot from the north entrance off of Spoede Road in a single file line.
During afternoon pickup, all students will be escorted to their cars by a staff member.
Cars will be directed when to move and exit by a staff member once all cars are loaded and students and staff are free from traffic.
All cars should sit idle until directed to move by a Spoede staff member during PM pickup.
Please do not get out of your car to buckle up your child while in the carpool loading lane.
If you need to get your child to an appointment, please check your child out in the office before 3:25 p.m.

Please write your child's first name and grade level on your yellow carpool pickup sign. Doing so will help us call students by their first and last names. If you have multiple children who attend Spoede, please write first names and grade levels of each child.
Please stay in your lane, stay in your car, and wait for your child to be escorted to you by a Spoede staff member.
Follow the carpool procedures and respect directions being provided by staff members. Safety for all is a priority!
Be patient. It takes time to get students unloaded/loaded.

Thank you for your cooperation!
